HOW MILD MANNERS WON.

Story Of the Discontinue Of . Paris
Duelist-'' Not a Bad idea"
Just at this moment there seems to be q
hull in the demand for pistols for two and
coffee for one, but, to supply the omission,
we are new RECALLED with stories of famous
duelists under the restoration-a period when
Paris was infested by crowds of well dressed
bullies who went about seeking to fasten
quarrels on peaceable people The adventures
of one of these gentry is amusing.
He was in the habit Of frequenting a res
taurant, where he became a daily terror to
the non-dueling patrons On certain occa-
sion he espied worthy bourgeois" gentle
man summing himself on the terrace, slipping
his mocha, which did not seem to suit him.
The bully approached the table, and, with a
twirl of his belhcose mo1stache, said:
"You don't seem to be satisfied, sirl"
"No, monsieur, this mocha is not at all
good to-day"
The bully then executed his grand 'tour de
force" by sticking the end of his cane into the
gentleman's cup and vigorously stirring the
contents, while he assumed the ferocious air
of one who was being insulted.
@Perhaps it's better now, he remarked when
he had finished the maneuver.
The bourgeois not a little astonished,
tasted the improved mocha and politely re-
Piled:
"Not a bad idea, monsieur; not a bad idea
How droll! 1t is really better"
And deliberately repeating the operation
with his own cane he kept saying, as he tool
little sips of the mixture:
"Not a bad idea; it's ever so much better
decidedly improved Thank YOU monsieur
thank you"
The mild hammered man had won. The
other guests laughed heartily at the discom
fitted duelist, who skunk away, and thencefortt
left the habitues of that particular restauran,
to enjoy their meals in peace.-Paris Cor

A Merchant who Cowhided his Son. !

The Omnipotence of Wealth.

Washington swarms with these curious
social freaks-these queer crosses between
cowboys and grand dukes. mining camp
roughs and bowling swells, kickapoo squaws
and prima donnas of fashion, barmaids and
princesses royal. California, Nevada and
Colorado have made the senate chamber ia
miliar with their astonishing manners and
vernacular. The bonanza mines, the spout
ing oil wells, the gigantic railroad rings, the
huge stock gambling corners, and all the
shoddy fortune mills and Doodle factories Of
forty-seven states and territories have poured
i'll their plutocratic quotas. Add thousands
of government clerks and clerkesses, young
army and navy officers, attaches of foreign
legations, provincial politicians, Office seekers,
rustic bellies, and real or pretended authors
gathering material for books, essays, or dia-
tribes: and you have the great body of the
busy, restless, schenling Gossiping rout that
calls itself society in Washington.
Its whole life is al endless round of card
poking and free lunching. Calls and visiting

and visiting cards crowd the afternoons.
Calls. receptions and visiting cards jam the

At last the administration papers have
begun to realize the extensive change ap-
parent in the public opinion Of the South,
regarding the tariff lava, and have COM
menced course OF advice and warning
which is rather remarkable. In the first
I place Southern democrats are told that the
introduction Of the tariff issue there has
been done by the republicans for the pur-
pose OF breaking the solid South; and
that they are mistaken as to the real size
of the question since both republicans and
democrats wish changes in the tariff rates
looking TO a reduction; that they are mis-
taken in regard to the effects of protection
which they have been told were plainly
visible in the phenomenal growth of
Southern industries. the real cause for
which is the advent of Northern business
ability and that success is Just as liable to
them as to men in the North, il they EN-
ploy the same methods This is not the
kind of logic to use with the people of the
South. In the first place they know that
this discussion of and growing favor for
protection, was not instigated and directed
by republican agencies: they trace it to
different source. the increased value given
TO their products in their ability to sue
ccssfully manufacture raw material and
compete with foreign manufactures.
They know the question of tariff to be Of
great importance to them from the fact
that il such benefits have already been
derived under protection, future prosperi-
ty is dependent upon the legislation given
the subject They will recognize the
fallacy OF the argument. that their indus
trial growth is due to northern business
ability and methods which could not
have even succeeded at home un-
less the North had protected itself by
policy alike applicable to the South;
and they will be justified in resenting
such insinuations which reflect upon their
own abilities and methods. Taken as a
whole these efforts to counterfeit the
growth of Southern opinion in favor of
protection are weak and will not avail,
and in fact any attempts to retain free
trade ideas, are too late.
